I bought a D-Link Wireless G Desktop Adapter, DWL-G510.
My understanding is that it works with the above driver.
I downloaded the relevant tarball from the Ralink site and am trying to
follow the build instructions in the unpacked README.
Here are the last 2 steps for a 2.6 kernel as set out in the README:
"6> $dos2unix rt61sta.dat
$cp rt61sta.dat /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat
# !!!check if it is a binary file before loading !!!
7> $load
...
#[kernel 2.6]
# $/sbin/insmod rt61.ko
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up"
I have 2 questions:
1. I ran dos2unix with the file rt61sta.dat and then checked the
properties of the file. The type is shown as "MPEG video". I don't
understand enough about these things to know whether the file is
actually a binary file. How do I get a conclusive answer to that?
2. After the module has been loaded, I'm told to issue the ifconfig
command with "YOUR_IP". I know that my modem treats my computer as
10.1.1.3. Is that what I'm to substitute for "YOUR_IP"?
Thanks for reading,
Leslie
